Former Shin Megami Tensei staff reveal new JRPG called Monark
A new turn-based JRPG has been revealed; one that revolves around the seven deadly sins, while also featuring heavy inspiration from the original Shin Megami Tensei games. The game, titled Monark, is being developed by Lancarse, a company that has previously worked on Lost Dimension, in addition to assisting with development on Zanki Zero: Last Beginning. The reason for Monark taking cues from the Shin Megami Tensei series is due to the fact that the game's lead writer is Ryutaro Ito, who was the main writer for Shin Megami Tensei I and II.
A debut trailer showcases some of the story elements, the characters, the school setting, and a glimpse of the battle system. Monark is planned for release in Japan for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on October 14th. Currently, there is no confirmation of a western localization, though publisher FuRyu claims an English dubbed voice-over will be added to the game post-release, implying that we might see an official English reveal at E3, or sometime in the future.
[UPDATE] NIS America will be localizing the game for launch in 2022.
